    Finally finished all the cafe books tonight and, with the exception of 2;1 with the tyre bug and the other using a car I don't own yet, all the challenges are done too 🙂 Now on to all the circuit experiences, I've done a handful so lots still to go. Not that the rally ones are possible currently either due to the tyre bug but oh well. On to some good new bad news for me, the bad news I am now broke in the game 😢 the good new though? I am the proud owner of a Ferrari F40 😄

    haha I know mate, I just have a reputation to maintain of being quick and a dick so I had to go back to take the top spot.

    @TurboR56Mini ahem! Even @Mikepjbell had beaten me so I had to do something about it 😂 tbh though I’m sure I’ve been beaten on a few as once I get gold I cba to repeat it. I know there’s one licence I got exactly on the gold time so that shouldn’t be too hard to beat.

    There’s quite a few bugged dirt ones at the minute as the game incorrectly puts you on road tyres rather dirt ones. On the screen select for world map/music rally you can select the known issues at the bottom for a full list of bugged tests/missions. Well now you see, I wasn’t really going to go back to those missions but gotta say, now I’m tempted to 😄

    That sound you hear totally isn’t me turning my playstation on right now 😆 A nice time though 🙂 I look forward to some wheel to wheel action if you join one of our lobbies.

    @Shucker If you retry you get the same weather but if you exit out the race fully, so back to the menu, you get different weather when you back to the race. I was doing the Touring Car 700 race last night at the Nord and rained while I was on slicks. I quit to buy intermediates, did the race again but this time instead of heavy rain, the rain clouds got close to the circuit but it never actually rained. I assume the weather settings are the same when you reload a mission so there will still be rain around but it might be a way to get slightly more favourable weather.

    Do you like to watch? Do you sir? But yes, it could be a good idea if people need help with a licence or something.

    TBF some of that is home advantage, I definitely wouldn’t so well with American cars. I agree, when I was younger my parents had the normal version which definitely isn’t as cool. An interesting tidbit on question 4 too, the mini lights question, my final year project at uni was CAD modelling the outer case for the wing mirror of that car. They had all my CAD files when I finished but frustratingly I don’t know if it was mine that was actually used or they re-did it.

    I’ll definitely be up for that. I’ve been focusing on the single player challenges and cafe books so still haven’t tried online yet.

    I think a wheel will always be better simply by the fact of the range you have in pedal and steering input over a controller. However from an enjoyment perspective, having a full rig is far more enjoyable than desk mounted. By the time I went Fanatec and a full rig I’d been sim racing about 20 years and had a wheel for 15 years of that. So for me it was a relatively easy purschase but I do find it harder to recommend to others because it is a big investment. However feel, and a sense of speed, is something you’ll always miss but good ffb does help. It’s a different feeling as it’s all through your hands than your ass. But you get attuned to the feeling what the car is doing still. Oversteer is always the obvious one as it forces the wheel to countersteer. But you also get to feel understeer, the floaty feeling when you’re right on the edge of grip etc. It is the one area I’m struggling with GT7 is getting attuned to the cars and the ffb. Most of the time I’m alright but occasionally I get a snap of oversteer which catches me off guard and I can’t react to it. That isn’t to say it’s bad, it’s just not great. A bit off topic really but Live for Speed still shines for me as fantastic force feedback. Getting the feeling and judging the balance as you get just the right amount of lift off oversteer to help turn in your fwd car. Or turning in your rwd and then almost holding the wheel straight as you play with the throttle to keep the car rotating. Raceroom is supposed to have fantastic ffb too but I’ve yet to try it.

    I’ve got a full Fanatec setup though different wheel and pedals but I would recommend them. I’ve got the CSL Elite, the belt driven predecessor to the CSL DD, so I’ve been keeping an eye on reviews of the CSL DD. In short, if you’re buying for your first wheel it’s a fantastic bit of kit. To come across maybe a little snobbish, GT is good with a wheel but if you go for it I’d recommend trying some ‘proper’ PC sims to see what it can really do.

    Dear God! S10 is difficult! I think I clocked over 120 miles around Spa but only actually managed to complete 3 or 4 laps. Still, I got the gold in the end so that’s all licences gold for me. Which thankfully means, I never need to look at the bloody things again 😄

    See all that makes me want to do is rewatch Avatar 😄 I was reading about some of the good weapons earlier and it makes me want to try and get them before continuing the main story as I’m still missing a couple of elements.

    Honestly I subbed just for the trophy. No really, nice work Lee. Hopefully more consistent donations can help this place grow further.

    Just wait until you get to the licence in the AMG GT at the Nordschlieffe. It must have taken me 20 attempts and even then I only squeaked gold by a couple of tenths. On that note, I am finding the licences inconsistent. I smashed one earlier by over a second on my second attempt yet the next one took 10 to get gold by a tenth. I’m still not used to the handling of this, I still feel every car is too tail happy. A bit of power oversteer or even some lift off oversteer I can live with but when you get lift off oversteer in a 1960 Fiat 500 at 25mph it starts to seem a bit much.

    Seems reviews are all pretty positive for this and the handling changes look to be positive changes with cars feeling more different and bumps and kerbs having more effect. So all I can say is; is it Friday yet?!

    Engage smug mode. Though I’m not the only FGer with a wheel. I just seem to be the only one that actually uses one.

    An FYI in case people don’t know, if you preordered digitally you can download it in preparation for release. I had it preordered with Amazon but realised I had some psn credit for Christmas so might as well switch to digital as it isn’t a game I’ll be getting rid of. Enjoy your week off with it Phil, I expect a full review and dialy videos 😄 as I doubt I’ll have much time to play before the 9th 😞 Early reviews from those who got their amazon orders early are positive. Though seems licence test may be on the easier side again like GT Sport as seems people are getting mosty golds on their first attempts. They are the lower end licences though so maybe the higher end ones will be harder, fingers crossed.

    Yup, definitely was the mission I picked up but thankfully it worked for me so seems it's a temperamental bug. Though if it means anything, I did collected the relics and all the other steps before returning to the Oseram woman. Sadly this concludes my week off with the game but still managed to get 30 hours in and hit level 29 so not bad. The only annoying thing for me is the only purgewater I have is traps and I have nothing that deals plasma damage. I know there's a few merchants who sell weapons though so think I need to check them out. Plus I'm not far along the main story line as, without spoilers, I still haven't collected the first of the 3 things you need to collect for the base. Turns out, I also suck at machine strike 😞
  20. Greboth
    Thanks @Riff Machine though pretty sure that’s the mission I just picked up. Where you have to go talk to a second salvager who gives you more contracts? I just got the Bellowback kill but stopped for food so will be trying to figure out the relics later. Hopefully it works for me.
  21. Greboth
    Agreed, it's no fun spoiling it for other people. I will probably post some spoilers once I'm further in the game but that's what spoiler tags are for. Though on a not really spoiler note, I saw my first Thunderjaw earlier so wandered over debating whether to try and take it on. I got close and it was an Apex Thunderjaw so I noped right outta there 😄
  22. Greboth
    How is everyone getting on with this? I'm loving it so far, without saying too much, I'm about 20 hours in and level 19 and just headed out west from the base. It feels very similar to HZD but IMO that's a good thing as there hasn't been changes for changes sake. I'm not sure if they've changed the machines or I'm just out of practise but I am finding it much harder using a bow than I remember. The machines seems to close up so fast once they know where you are that a bow is only good for stealth. Still it's great fun overriding a machine and sitting back as all hell breaks loose 😄

    I saw the patch install but I'm wholly absorbed with Horizon at the moment. A few video's I've seen though the upgrade does look good.
  24. Greboth
    Welcome Sarah. It’s always good to see new people joining FG. I prefer online play (though I’m not very good at it 😂) over PvE but look forward to catching you in a party.

    I was kinda hoping it wouldn’t transfer so I could leave my GT Sport record untarnished 😆 I guess it makes sense though to transfer it over. I just hope they get more random in their combos as gr3 at the red bull ring, gr4 suzuka, gr3 dragon trail etc came up way too often whereas Sainte Croix rarely came up.
